Always a good read...

Thucydides said:Unfortunate Husband II in "Urban Legends" sounds disturbingly like an incident in Calgary during the early 1980's.
It seems a guy had either cleaned his bike with gasoline or simply stored it with a full tank inside his PMQ (not sure what the circumstances were). Fumes leaked out and eventually reached the pilot light of the furnace or water heater in the basement (gasoline vapour being heavier than air) with the predictable result of an explosion and fire which pretty much demolished the PMQ.
I am pretty sure no one was hurt in the incident, but perhaps someone out there remembers more details.

Did I see this right? Did he just light a lighter inside the tank to check the level? Seriously?
